2001 Domaine Font de Michelle Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Etienne GonnetRed Rhone Blend more |
10/10/2017 - fultonjf Does not like this wine: 79 pointsOpened one and it was well past gone. Tried a second and it is much better but past its prime. Not quite oxidized but certainly heading downhill rapidly. Wine shipped straight from Garagiste to offsite storage so not a storage issue on my end |

12/6/2014 - fultonjf Likes this wine: 90 pointsA really nice wine drinking beautifully. This is my last. I would not be afraid to hold off on any other bottles I had but I don't think this wine will get any better than it is now. Drink up! |

4/20/2012 - fultonjf wrote: 91 pointsI agree with other reviewers, both on the many positive attributes (the spice, finish, complexity) as well as the less desirable (the oak like sour taste at the very end of the finish), but overall an outstanding wine. This is my last one. On to 2006! |

1991 Tahbilk Cabernet SauvignonNagambie Lakes more |
12/28/2011 - fultonjf wrote: 90 pointsPopped and poured and was not disappointed. The nose is muted, and a bit musty, but in a good way. Amazing how bright the cherry notes are. Screams much younger. No bit, just a nice medium finish. A fantastic food wine (more so than a solo sipper). Amazing price point for 20 yr old Cab |

2005 Marc Brédif ChinonCabernet Franc more |
11/17/2011 - fultonjf wrote: 90 pointsWhat a difference 3 years makes. The green notes are strong, the finish is smooth and if you like cab franc, you will not be disappointed. What surprised me most was how vibrant the wine tastes and how much bouquet is left on the nose. No reason not to drink away if you have them. |

10/24/2011 - fultonjf wrote: 91 pointsDouble decanted and then brought to dinner. Fist sip was amazingly fresh with very vibrant, but light berry notes. The dust is also there, but not overpowering or distracting. A fantastic wine. Will save my remaining bottles for another year as this wine will be around a while |

10/19/2011 - fultonjf wrote: 91 pointsSuper effort. The fruit is vibrant but still elegant. Not a ton of secondary notes, but an amazing effort for only the second vintage from Jamie (if I am counting correctly). I will be back for lots more |
